Wheeler, ot Yale University, who will to night begin a noteworthy lecture course at tne Brooklyn Institute, is rapidly coming into recognition as a leading historical authority. The theme of the course is particularly timely in view of the widening interests of the' American people and their close touch with other nations. It is "The Leading Powers ot Europe ana Their Relations to the United States." In the opening lecture to niglit Professor Whee.e.r purposes to tell how and why England became an empire and to discuss the laws of it growth. In the second lecture lie will consider the British empire of to day, the necessary conditions, of Its existence, its burdens and responsibilities, signs of weakness in the structure and the limits to further expansion. This will lead the way to the discussion, in the third lecture, or Anglo American relations, past and present, diplomatic, political and social.

The difficulties in the way of a closer entente will be touched upon and the outlook for the future indicated. In the remaining five lectures Dr. Wheeler will treat from the histor drive. A sliced ball will find its way into a crevice running parallel with the line of play and extending for a distance of 150 yards 10 the right, while on the left there is a big ditch to catci; a drawn ball. It extends from within 45 yards of the green to a short distance of the tee.

The sixth hole is called the Well. It is 250 yards long, the play being up hil; all the way, crossing the parkway, a bread road! 200 feet wide, which i an exceptionally fine hazard, with rows cf trees on either side. A sliced ball wiil get into the woods and a pulled ball into a sand pit. The seventh hole, called the Bjy, is 300 yards, long. The tee is on a high hill, with, a commanding view of the surrounding country.

The pliiy is down hni in a southerly direction, to the new station, which the Lawrence HirbcT Country Club is having erected. A sliced hall will go over the read and down into a gravel pit, while a hooked bill will get into high grass and rough ground. The eighLh hole, 340 yirds, is called Rotten Row, owing to the fact that a row of decayed apple trees had to be cut down ia order to give a good line of play. A carry of 120 yards is neeescttry on the drive to clear the brow of a hill, at the fcot of which, oft the approach, is a pit bunker. A sliced ball will go into a pond and a drawn bill into) a let.

Dr. Munroe concludes with this observation: However, the writer is convinced that navies hereafter will not only be provided with smokeless powder for their guns, but also with hign explosive charges for their shells, for the armor piercing shells are now so strong that a full charge or gunpowder cannot burst them, and these very expensive projectiles would thus be no more efficient than solid shot. It is true that the gunpowder filled shells produced a marked incendiary effect both at Manila and at Santiago, but the nitro substi tuticin compounds are equal to gunpowder in this respect when exploded by a gunpowder fuse. Yet If all inflammable material is to be removed from ships the incendiary characteristic will not count in the future as it has in the past.

From all experience it seems assured that nitro substitution compoumds are the logical successors of gunpowder for charges for shells, to be thrown at high velocities from powder guns. PRINCIPAL OF NO. 10. Homer C. Bristol Elected to Succeed Associate Superintendent John H.

A SUCCESSOR FOR GUNPOWDER. The "Writer Concludes That Nitro Sub stitution Compounds "Will Take Its Place for Shell Charges.

A great many interesting things which the ordinary layman doesn't know about gun powder and high, naval explosives are elucidated in a paper by Dr. Charles E. Munroe, printed in Cassjier's Magazine for December. The average idea of these articles is as hazy as the smoke of black powder. For instance, it is not generally known as a fact, as Dr.

Munroe sets forth in his first paragraph, that of the hundreds of explosives, those used In actual warfare may be comprised in four classes gun powders, organic nitrates, nitro substitution compounds, and fulminates. The modern gun powder known as cocoa or brown prismatic powder is described as a composition of brown charcoal, in which some of the carbohydrates remain and 78 parts of potassium nitrate, 20 parts ol charcoal and 3 parts of sulphur. The mixture is compressed io a powerful hydraulic press into separate grains, which have the form ol an hexagonal prism and which are perforated through their longer axis by a hole or canal. "The advantage," says Dr. Munroe, "which this brown gunpowder possesses over the black is that as it is slower burning it is less brisante and that, therefore, a higher velocity may be imparted to the projectile without bringing an undue pressure upon the walls or the gun." It is, however, slower in igniting and special arrangement of it in the base of the cartridge is necessary to sec it off quick enough.

Dr. Munroe compares and discusses the brown and the black powder. He adduces numerous ioints in favor of the brown powder, the chief of which is the absence ol smoke. On this line he says: There is some question as to the permanency of brown prismatic powder, yet on the whole its reliability constitutes its chief advantage. A marked disadvantage, and one which recent events have strongly impressed upon tne puDiic, is the smoke which it pro auces when fired, more than 50 per cent, of the total weight of the powder charge being thrown out as solid matter to foul the atmosphere, becloud the gunner and make his situation a conspicuous target for the.

enemy. Many smokeless powders are now known and used, aind all of the principal ones belong to the second class of explosives mentioned above, as they are composed wholly, or in part, of organic nitrates. The most typical members of this class of explosives are" gun cotton, which was discovered by Schonbein in 1S45, and nitro glycerioe, which was discovered by Sobrero in 1S47. Gun cotton is made by immersing cold, thoroughly dried and thoroughly cleansed cotton fiber in a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acids, when nitrogen oxides from the nitric acid replace part of the atoms of hydrogen in the molecules of the cotton, or cellulose, as it is called by the chemists. If the acids are the strongest that are made and the temperature during nitration is kept low, and the immersion lasts for several hours, the greatest degree of replacement of hydrogen atoms by nitrogen oxide groups takes place: 'but if the temperature rises or the acid mixture is weak and the time of immersion is short, fewer of the hydrogen atoms of the cellulose, molecule are reolaced.

and 'hv taking advantage of these conditions we obtain cellulose nitrates containing from four to eleven atoms of nitrogen in the molecule, and each of these nitrates possesses different properties, but all of them have, by this treatment, heeome to a degree explosive, their ex plosibility increasing with the. increase in their nitrogen contents. When thoroughly dry compressed gun cotton may be set one fire, and it burns with considerable vigor; but the writer has repeatedly set on fire 'blocks weighing several ounces, and when they were well ignited extinguished them by pouring water upon them. Dry gun cotton does not explode when ignited, eoccept when confined. Wet compressed gun cotton does not take fire until dried.

The writer lias frequently placed stout boxes of it, containing upward of one hundred pounds, in a fierce bonfire and allowed the. boxes to "burn through, when the disks slowly dried in layers and ignited on the outside, 'but would be extinguished by simply rolling them out on the earth. Nor is wet gun cotton exploded by the impact of a projectile. Wet gun cotton is. however, exploded by the detonation of a small amount of dry gun" cotton in contact with it, ani the detonation of dry gun cotton is effected by means of a.

detonator, or blasting cap, containing mercuric fulminate, fired in contact with it. The explosion produced in this way is an extremely violent one, it has a marked rupturing effect and can be effected without confinement of the explosive. It is sufficient to place the thoroughly saturated gun cotton upon the ground, to put on this a small block of dry gun cotton containing a detonator Inserted in a tide in the block, and to fire the detonator oy a fuse or an electris current, when the whole of the gun cotton will 'he instantly exploded and resolved into gas. The second typical explosive of this class, nitro glycerine, is made by slowly mixing pure glycerine with strong nitric and sulphuric acids, being careful to keep the temperature down while the nitration goes on. Here also nitrogen oxide replaces hydrogen in the glycerol molecule, and we obtain, aifter washing, a liquid which looks like the bland, innocuous glycerine with wftich we are so familiar (though the commercial nitro glycerine is usually yellow), 'but which is poisonous and explosive.

The washing of the nitro glycerine is more easily accomplished than that of the gun cotton, yet, perhaps, on account of foreign bodies present, its stability is not so well assured. When set on fire nitro glycerine burns vigorously; if spread out on a surface it may burn away without explosion, but if the surface with which It is in contact becomes heated, the nitro glycerine will explode with violence. It is usually exploded by means of a detonator or blasting cap, and it is then in stantly resolved into gas. It can be detonated unconfined, but its efficiency, in common with all other explosives, Is increased by confinement. As it explodes in direct contact with water, the latter Is often used to confine or tamp it, as it is called, when used in blasting.

Nitro glycerine poisons when it is taken into the mouth, or absorbed through the skin, or inhaled as vapor, and even very smaii quantities produce violent headaches. It is readily exploded by a blow. Because of the danger attending the liquid state and the great sensitiveness of nitro glycerine it is converted Into a component of a solid mass by absorbing it in a porous material, like infusorial silica, when is known as kieselguhr dynamite; or a mix I ture of wood pulp and sodium nitrate when it is known as lignin dynamite or by disso'v ing pyroxylin in it by the aid of heat, when it is converted into a jelly like mass, known as explosive or blasting gelatine. The latter may be further mixed with cotton or charcoal, when it is known as gelatine dynamite. The limited range or even the best of torpedoes; the fact that torpedo boats can never expect to reach the enemy except by stealth; that this difficulty is continually increasing wifh the increase in the speed of battlesliins and cruisors, the perfection of searchligh'is and of rapid fire, high poivered guns, that, in any event, a torpedo attack is in the nature of a forlorn hope, makes it inevitable that some more efficient method of reachti" the enemy wun nign explosives must employed and this is be found only in "tin fire.

Two systems of gun fire have been proposed and tested. In one of these a 'ow pressure gun of lor.g bore Is used, and the propellent, is a slowly expanding, compressed gas, as is the case with the pneumatic guns co the United States dynamite cruiserVe suvius. In the other, the regular service gun. service powder and servioe pressures and velocities are used to project the explosive charged shell. Evidently, as the projectile from the pneumatic gun has a I FINE NEW GOLF COURSE, Laurence Harbor Country Club the Latest Addition to the Golfing World.

PROPERTY FACES LOWER BAY. Located on the Old Lamb Estate Near Atlantic Highlands Organized by Iarchmont Yachtsmen. Golf has been 'the means or adding another new country club 'to the social world. This organization, although compoised of many of New York's well known society people, is ettll very young, only having held its informal opening a few days since, while the formal opening of the new nine hole course, recently laid out by Thomas Bendelow, the professional expert, will not be held until next spring. The name the new organization is the Laurence Harbor Country Club, incorporated under the laws of the State or New Jersey, and which has secured the estate and residence formerly occupied by Laurence Lamb at Laurence Harbor, N.

J. The property, which is situated on a plateau about fifty feet above the level of the sea, is on the south bank of lower New York Bay, and is what m'ighc be called the continuation of 'the Atlantic Highlands. The old Lamb mansion has Just been remodeled and converted into a club house by the well known architect, LOWER NEW YORK BAY NINE HOLE COURSE OP THIS LATJ EBXCB HARBOR COUNTRY CDUB. James Brown Dord. The building is now about one hundred and thirty feet long by fifty to sixrty feet deep.

There are ten oom modious sleeping rooms on the second floor, a large lounging room 50 by 60 feet, a billiard room covering thirty square feet and a dining room 30 'by 55 feet, Where about sixicy people could be comfortably served at once. There is also a bar room 15 by 20 feet and a cozy parlor for the women. The kitchen and other apartments used by the help are also on this floor. A flag pole twenty five feet high stands in front of the house, from which the club's colors will float during the seaison. The locker rooms and shower ba'ths are not in the main building, but in a detached structure to the southeast of the club house, where 'the members have ample room, as the building 'is 20 by 125 feet, with the "professional's workshop in the center.

The caddy house is separate, and the club has even provided a two story frame house for l'ts professional, James Turnbull of Carisarsty, who was formerly the professional at the Larchmont Yacht Club golf links. In fact, 'the organizers of the new organization are all well known membens of the Darchmont Yach't Club, with the passible exception of Findlay S. Douglas, champion amateur of America, who will be the club's captain next sea son. The president Isaac A. Singer; vice presi THE Clkr HOUSE.

dent, W. Gould Brokaw; secretary, George W. Quintard, and treasurer, Mortimer M. Singer. The aim of the Laurence Harbor Clubmen is to secure a select membership and the Inducement offered is a charming country home with the best golf, shooting, fishing, aTound New York.

There is nothing cramped about the premises, as there is a commodious club house and four hundred acres of land, with an extensive water front and fine har bor, beside a beautiful beach and excellent sea bathing. Ample provision in the shape of bath houses will be erected for the golfers in the spring. The railroad facilities are excellent, both the Pennsylvania and Jersey Central lines passing through the grounds, and a stage will meet every train In the spring, after the new station is completed. The location is but forty five minutes from New York, and the organization expects to develop into one of the fimest country clubs in this section of the country. From the front porch of the club house, which is to be inclosed in glass and used as a sun parlor, one can look out for miles on the ocearn, directly ahead.

To the right lies Sandy Hook, while across, to th left, are the woodlands of Staten Island; 'while Sea Gate, the home of the Atlantic Yacht Club, may be seen in the distance. The club's new nine hole course, which will be in readiness for use In the spring, is. 3, 057 yards long, and if the demands should ever be such that an eighteen hole course is necessary there is ample ground for nine more holes. The first hole is 415 yards long, the tee being the eastern end of the club hnn and the green being located on Castle Point, wnicn is a nigh bluff overlooking the lower bay and Margaret's Creek. The line of play is due east from the club house.

A Brood drive and a brossey will get close to the green, the bogie being 4.

ATWOOD MEMORIAL ETJITD. A Christmas Sale to Establish a Ward in the Infants' Hospital.

Mrs. Henry P. Aten, the widow of Dr. Aten. opened a Christmas sale at her residence, 34 Hanson place, yesterday afternoon for the purpose of establishing a memorial fund for an Atwood ward in the new Infants' Hospital, which probably will be erected in tie near future, on the site of the small building used for hospital purposes at 396 Herkimer street, adjoining the Brooklyn Nursery.

Dr. J. Freeman Atwood, after whom the ward Is to be named, died recently. He was for seven years a visiting physician of the nursery and hospital, and for twenty the physician In chief. He was also president of the medical staff of the Homeopathic Hospital.

Twenty seven years ago when Dr. Atwood first came to this borough he was associated in his profession with Mrs. Aten's husband. It is because of this close association with her family and Dr. Atwood's fine record as a physician and a Christian that Mrs.

Aten desires to make the initial move toward establishing the fund. Mrs. Aten has given over her parlors for the sale. She has collected through donations many articles of Infants' wear which have been placed on sale. Home made cakes and candies are also offered.

There are also about a hundred small stiff board cradles filled with candy. which have been donated and are to be disposed of. Mrs. Aten is assisted by the managers of the hospital. The sale will close to night.

The people of Brooklyn are asked to contribute all the condensed milk, pies, cake, turkey and meat they can afford. Mr. Kennedy of the Bijou Is working hard with the Postmaster to get things in. shape for the final performance on Monday morning.

An attempt ts being made to have everything arranged systematically that there will be no confusion ln spite of the hordes of little ones to be managed. Every box in the theater has been sold the society receiving from $25 to $100 for them, as much as $25 being given for a seat. Yet an immense amount of money is needed for the proper care of the children and Postmaster Wilson is in hopes that the good work will be Increased between now and Monday. Over 2,300 theater tickets have been given and many overflow tickets. The children cannot all be accommodated in the theater, but those who cannot get in will be entertained at the shelter across the way.

For the overflow meeting Silsbe has donated seventy five oyster stews, all cooked and ready, A. Richardson, proprietor of the Bijou Hotel will give fifty dinners, and Ogilvie, publisher, has donated 200 holiday books. All this is in addition to the toys already donated.

READY TO NAME A MAW. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle; In this evening's issue you say, in reference to a successor for Superintendent Al dridge: "IT anybody knows a Brooklyn man who measures up to the standard of Mr. vvnite wc tcu represents tne requirements cf Colonel Roosevelt let him trot the man out and he can be named." Kindly let me name George B. Forrester of the Tenth Ward Brooklyn, December 20, 1898. a HARLEM AND THE BRONX.

A strong feeling against the city authorities, which is every day gaining strength, exista among the property owners adjacent to "kittle Italy" that section of Harlem bounded! by Second avenue and the East River and Ono Hundred and Eleventh and One Hundred and Fourteenth streets. Three years ago the city decided to make a park or breathing placa there, and commissioners were appointed to appraise and condemn the necessary property. The hundreds of tenants the property is entirely occupied by flat and tenement houses received notice from the city that they would be obliged to leave at any time, and many ot them got out at once; but hundreds of others have since taken their place, with the result that it isnow the most thickly populated, and: at the same time the dirtiest, section of any in Greater New York. The city has sub Zet the houses to one or two men, and these mea seem indifferent as to the condition of tha houses. A committee of neighboring property owners was recently formed to protest to the city against the condition of "Little ItalyX' Although the property necessary for the proT posed park has long been condemned, the city authorities have made no attempt tol aiij uul lu original intention, anu me aout ting property owners have resolved to petition the city either to at once proceed with work: or reduce the value of property in the neighborhood, as it has become very much deteriorated.

In Temple Israel of Harlem, Fifth avenue, and One Hundred and Twenty fifth street, this evening, the Rev. C. Fleischer of Boston, will lecture on "A National Sense," and on Sabbath morning at 10 o'clock Mr. Fleischer will preach in the same place on "A Plea. Against Self Sacrifice." Every year the Tremont Presbyterian: Church, One Hundred and Seventy fourth street and Washington avenue, has a Christmas tree in the basement of the church.

Not only are presents for the children hung on the tree, but the old folks who exchange gift3 with other church members use it. These gifts are always sent to the church a week or ten days prior to Christmas. A day or two ago there were about $200 worth of presents locked up in a room in the church basement, ready to be hung up on the tree, but during the night thieves broke in and carried off everything that was of value. The joint railroad committee of the Municipal Council held a public hearing yesterday to consider the advisability of granting additional franchises to the Metropolitan Tractioa Company and to the Third Avenue Cable Company. The extensions sought by the Third Avenue Company include a line along the boulevard from One Hundred and Twenty sixth street to the Kingsbridge road at One.

Hundred and Sixty ninth street; a line from Amsterdam avenue and One Hundred and Sixty second street along Kingsbridge road, across the ship canal and Spuyten Duvvil Creek and along West Two Hundred and Thirtieth street and Riverdale avenue to the city limits. The Metropolitan Campany wants to construct a line along the Boulevard, from One Hundred and Thirtieth street to One Hundred and Eighty second street, and Eleventh avenue, and another line across One Hundred and Forty fifth street to the Harlem, River. The hearing was largely attended by delegations of property owners from Washington Heights. Inwood and the Bronx. The delegation from the Bronx came under the impression that the Union Trolley Company's request for further franchises was to come up, but the Mayor had vetoed it on December 16.

so that it will not be broached again until some time next year. OVERWORKED TEACHEHS. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: We, hear much about our "poor overworked teachers." From Friday. November 18," to Monday, November 2S. 1SDS, they worked only fifteen hours.

From Friday, December 23, 1898, to Monday, January 0. 1SP9, they will dt twelve hours' work. And the work is not hard, even at that. Many of their sisters who do housework would gladly exchange places with the teachers. "Woman's work is never done" surely does not apply to woman teachers.

By the way, it is said that some of the principals and teachers of day schools are also principals or teachers of night schols and do double duty. If they were already overworked why is this added burden imposed' WORK POSTED GRADUATE. Brooklyn, December 21, 189S. WANTS TO BE CHEERED UP. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: I firmly believe that a diseased mind makear a diseased body.

If this theory is correct, are not the reports of the Board of Health, which are published in your paper, a detriment to' humanity or the nervous people of the race? To be sure, we all sypmathize with thoso who suffer from the grip, but is it not only a few years ago sines tho name has been added to our vocabulary? Surely, before its arrival we all had a severe ccld before the winter had passed. Why ciot publish mora rays of sunshine in your piper, ther sby lifting many clouds from the anxious brow, which this report of the grip has helped to create. M. L. D.

Brcoklyn, December 21. 1S9S. THE OLD DAYS AND THE NEW. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: As the teachers' year and month of labor in schools ends on December 23, 1898, and do not recommence until January 3, 1S99, I fall to see how Mr. Coler can jeopardize his bank account by paying us for the month of December, even if we all expired between dates.

BIG DROP IN IMPORTS. The Year's Total of Manufactured Articles Purchased Erom England Will Be Small. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, D. December 23 Importations of manufactures from Great Britain into the United States seem likely to show an unusually small total in the year 1S98. The November statement of exports from Great Britain to the United States, which has just reached the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, shows in nearly every case that the exportation of manufactures in the months ending November 30, were less than in the corresponding months of earlier years.

Imports of manufacturers in the early part of the year 1S97 were, of course, abnormally great, and a comparison of the eleven months of 1898 with the corresponding months of 1S97 would in many cases be misleading. A compar ison, however, with the corresponding months or lS96andl893shows in nearly all cases smaller imports in 1898 than in either of the earlier years. When it is remembered that the imports of the eleven months of 1896 were the smallest with a single exception since 1890, and that those of 1893 were less than in the three years which preceded it, a comparison of 1898 with these two years will not be considered an unfair one, while to compare with the years 1S94 or 1897, in which tariff laws were being considered and enacted would be manifestly unjust. In nearly all classes of manufactured articles the figures of the eleven months of 1898 show a reduction as compared with 1896 and 1893, and a very large reduction as compared with 1897. In jute manufactures, for instance, the imports of the eleven months of 1S9S were 95,287,300 yards against 143,984, 300 in the corresponding months of 1897: in woolen yarns the drop was from 55.000 pounds in 1897 to 6,900 in 1898; in worsted yarn from 674,300 pounds in eleven months of 1S97 to 102,900 in 1898; in woolen tissues from 8,046,100 yards in eleven months of 1897 to 1,478,300 in eleven of 189S, and in worsted tissues from 40,667,600 yards in eleven months of 1897 to 12,700,400 in the corresponding months of 1898.

These figures, it should be understood, relate to imports from the United Kingdom. The following table shows the exports of leading articles from Great Britain to the United States in eleven months, ending November 30. 1S98, as stated by the official reports of the British government, for the mcoth of November, compared with the corresponding period of 1896 and 1893.
